Hi every one, Sam here,
You might have seen me at the Gencon round table. I was the guy with
the camera that ran out of batteries. The sound on the video terned
out pretty bad, a lot of the time you can't here what questions are
being asked and some times you can't make out the responses ether,
mostly becouse of the destortion. I'm going to try and clean it up but
unfortunatly I can't promis anything. I remember some one was
recording with a dictaphone maybe he/she got a better recording on the
sound.
Anyway, I was the one who wanted to make a computer game.
The Premise
A metior carrying some magical radiation crashlands on earth
irradiating it with said rediation. Then creatures and people all over
the world start growing into giant monsters. Some of them go insain
and start destroying everything, while others decide to protect the
people around them.
The Game Play
The game will be an action RPG, using a JRPG style overworld and town
map while the dungens will be more like a Castlvania type platforming
levels. A good example of what I'm going fore is would be Legand of
Zelda 2 or Ax Battler. The game will be 2D using pre-renderd 3D
sprites. Kind of what they did in Donky Kong Country on the SNES only
I'll be using a more realistic style.
Well that's all I can think of right now. I've never used this google
groups thing before so I don't know how to put up a project page or
anything like some other people have done. Anyway, any questions or
input you have would be apresiated.

Hi Sam and welcome!
I remember you and your game from GenCon. It sounded really cool - I
particularly liked the idea of the creatures shrinking to show you are
beating them. I was recording the seminars on the dictaphone but the
background noise is terrible. I am continueing to try and clean them
up but I don't hold much hope.
Now that you have a good idea of what your game is about, what is the
next step?

Glad you could drop by. For a project page, a great place to start is with one of the many free blogging sites. Wordpress, LiveJournal and Blogger are just some of the options available to you. I've used Blogger for a while and now I also use Wordpress to maintain the Stockade project. I like them both, and will use them for specific purposes.
Start with one of those (or some other blog site). Post something to your blog when you pass a milestone, or you want to let your potential players (customers) know about your design thoughts, or if you want feedback from people who've heard about your game.

Well I'm going to post a project page on a website called The Daily
Click. It is a homebrew game dev community based around Multimedia
Fusion 2, the authoring program I'll be using to make my game. I'll be
using the platform engine that I've been working on for the action/
platform sections of my game. Fore those of you who are interested I
have made 2 small demo games while I was developing it. One is just a
demo of the engines features, it is here...
http://www.filefront.com/14678973/HE%20platrform%20engine.rar
I also made a Monsters vs Aliens fan game using my engine witch you
can download for here...
http://create-games.com/download.asp?id=7936
The second file in the rar file is the engine itself. The engine is
open source and any one who has MMF2 can use it. I'm not sure if I'll
be using all the features my engine has for this game but I created it
with a one size fits all kind of thing.
Anyway, I'd love to know what you guys and girls think of my two mini-
games, I'm going off to work on the project page and figure out some
mile stones for my project. See you soon.

Hi Sam. You may have noticed by now that I've added a link to your Daily Click project page. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with a computer game that had feedback from tabletop designers.

Hi,
My name is Ray.
I leave in Brisbane, I work for a mobile computing consultant company.
I'm married with two girls. ( 2 and 1 )
I am about to start part time Uni in November. I have written a number
of short stories and have almost completed my first full length novel.
And for some strange reason even though I have no time what-so ever I
felt the need to join in and attempt to Created a Settings book.
It's called Where the Shadows Play (http://
wheretheshadowsplay.wordpress.com/) and it's based on a short story I
wrote a few years ago.
Cheers
Ray
Within the realms of the dead there is a place beyond oblivion, a
place between Heaven and Hell, where souls go to wait out their
judgment, Limbo to some, purgatory for others, but a veritable
playground for all things that dwell within the shadows.

Ray, I had a look at your site and I love the idea. I can't wait to
read more. Is it going to be for all RPG systems or are you writing it
for a particular system?
Paul.

Hey Paul,
I had originally thought about creating it just for DnD 3.5 as that is
the system I am most familiar with.
However, I don't want to force people to use a system that they don't
like, So I may open it up to all system.
Just depends on how much more work will be involved with doing that.
If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd love to hear them. wiether it
would be better to have it open for all or locked down to one system.
Pro's and Cons Vs Time and Effort
I'll created a thread on my blog so I don't clutter up this site with
mystuff. Please follow the link to go to my post. http://wp.me/PFmNg-9

Hi Ray,
I took a look at your project and added my own 2 cents. I liked the
hole idea of your actions determine where you end up. Though I can't
say I like the idea of having to answer to the greek gods after I
died. They were mostly evil bastards. XD
